You will find that instances may
occur during your professional career when you too must accept some difficult news. A
common one for authors are that a reviewer wants more revisions. Fighting such
things, kicking and screaming, simply does not change the inevitable. You must
accept there are times when you must put up with delays.
The feeling of a
lack of control can be frustrating, painful, and make you angry or depressed.
It can stop you in your tracks and make you throw things at the computer. It
doesn’t help. The sooner you can accept that this too is a part of life and the
process of getting published, the sooner you can move forward. Take it one step
at a time and claim what control that you can. What step can you do today? Even
if it is nothing more than making a list, take the next baby step toward
acceptance.
